Earthquake record › seal of 2026-08-08
224 events, exactly as the feed presented them at the moment we read it. Values on this page are what USGS asserted on this date — some of them have since been revised, and this page deliberately does not follow those revisions.
No event in this seal had appeared in an earlier one. Every event here was first seen on this date.
Review status as sealed: automatic 160, reviewed 64. An automatic value is a machine solution USGS may still revise; a reviewed value has had a human look at it. Which one you are reading matters more than the magnitude itself.
| Magnitude | Events |
|---|---|
| Below M1.0 | 46 |
| M1.0 – M1.9 | 88 |
| M2.0 – M2.9 | 49 |
| M3.0 – M3.9 | 19 |
| M4.0 – M4.9 | 18 |
| M5.0 and above | 4 |
| No magnitude published | 0 |
23 of 224 events in this seal were sealed at or above M3.5 — the magnitude Texas Railroad Commission seismic-response conditions are written around. That is a count of what the feed said, not a determination about any permit, operator or well.
Get told when the record changes for your area
USGS publishes the last day and overwrites it, then revises events in place — automatic becomes reviewed, magnitudes move, and the old value stops existing everywhere. We seal a dated copy every day. Leave your email and we'll tell you when an event in your area is revised after the fact, with what it said before.
